I bought this radio quite some time ago and never had a problem. For some reason without warning it stopped alerting me of warnings (and we have had many) making this item useless to me. There are two model numbers listed on the unit for some reason -...

I originally bought 3 of these for ourselves & our two son's families. My one son's never worked & then a recall was issued. We sent all 3 back & received new units. We can get most items set on it, but so far it has not actually worked when the...

I have had other weather radios in the past, portable and otherwise. This is convenient in the charging station in the office, and very easy to take with you in the field. The clarity of the broadcast is very good as well. I would recommend it highly!
